To be sure, however, there are many variations of it. But none of them are as she wrote it, although her version presents a similar idea.

However, Yockey got my point wrong. I was never talking about who was first to promote Brown. I was talking about Jules Crittenden’s prescience about what might open the way for a Brown victory, even though Jules didn’t think it at all likely at the time he wrote it.

I had always heard that failure is an orphan…

They also have some good stuff on the Brown-Coakley race, like The Battle for 41 and Mass Hysteria.

A “sad reality?” If Brown wins? You’re kidding, right? What’s wrong with Brown? Military and legislative experience up the wazoo, ran a shrewd, tight campaign that ate the apple off Coakley’s head.

Hell, I’d rather he were President that the bozo who’s in office right now. Of course, that doesn’t narrow the field much. Geraldo Rivera would be a better choice than Obama.

And we are left with no choice but to choose one of them. it is a sad reality but one of them will be one of the nation’s leader.

10 year old Susie : Mom, I just heard Scott Brown is trying to kill me. Is that right?
Mom : Of course not Susie, Scott Brown is not trying to kill you, he’s trying to kill all children,
Susie : But, but, why?
Mom : Cuz that’s what Republicans do, they kill children, and kittens, but mostly children.
Susie : But…how?
Mom : By killing Uncle Teddy’s health-care bill, that’s how. Their pro-cancer, anti-kitten agenda has finally been exposed. They’re even planning to put cancer in the drinking water.
Susie : Didn’t Uncle Teddy die of brain cancer?
Mom : Infected with brain cancer, Susie. Infected with brain cancer by Republicans.
Susie : I’m scared.

Susie : The Kopechne treatment?
Mom : Of course.
